Royals fans urged to travel early to World Series games

World
Series traffic congestion can be expected around the Truman Sports Complex,
particularly along I-70 and I-435 from midday today throughout the early
evening. MoDOT urges baseball fans heading to the game to leave in plenty of
time to ensure you are parked and in your seat by the 7:07 p.m. start of Game
1.

A
sell-out crowd combined with the usual afternoon rush hour traffic can lead to
backups and delays for those who are accustomed to normal game-day traffic.
MoDOT and Kansas City Scout will do their part to help. Motorists are urged to
check up to the minute traffic conditions online before heading out by going to
www.modot.org and clicking on the Traveler
Information Map, and also to www.kcscout.net
for the latest information on delays and congestion. Scout message boards along
major routes will help alert motorists to any potential problems.

Fans going to Wednesday's game should also expect the same conditions.

For both games, the parking lots will open at 2 p.m. and the stadium will open at 4:30 p.m.
